SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe is really good. It's one of the best chocolate cakes that i have ever tasted and i'm not that big on cake. The texture is very good also. Nice and spongy like a cake should be. I give it 4 stars. :)
oh my goodness. what a gorgeous photo!
Wow, blushinmuffin, that cake looks awesome! Mmmm!
blushblush! thank you so much!! :D

one last change I made and forgot to write about: I replaced the total amount of oil with applesauce. same amount. worked like a charm!
had a bit of a hard time with this cake, but not because of the recipe. the oven and my impatience were the culprits here.
i tweaked the recipe just a bit, by using 2/3 whole wheat pastry flour for the total amount of flour needed, rest of it was all-purpose. I also reduced the amount of sugar in half, and used soymilk instead of water.
excellent results, despite getting a bit of a rough start!
Agh! Best. Cake. Ever. I'm going to make it into cupcakes for my non-veg*n friends. I'll be sure to take a picture! ;)
This is the chocolate cake recipe I always use... it's in one of the cookbooks I have, "Foods That Don't Bite Back"... it should be called the No-Fail Fluffiest Chocolate Cake Ever Recipe. I must make it twice a month. Even my boyfriend has made it and doesn't screw it up. Not that I think vegan baking ever tastes different than non-vegan, but if there's one recipe that would fool even the biggest skeptic, it's this one.
Would self rising flour work with this?
I seem to only that.
=(
This cake has been made many many times in our family. We made it for Thanksgiving 2 years in a row. My mom made it for our wedding cake (and a carrot cake with it and vegan cream cheese frosting) and everyone loved it! We like to eat it with apricots and blueberries. My mom puts raspberry jam in between layers. This is a great recipe and super easy to make cake that all your non-vegan friends and family will LOVE.
